This gorgeous rail station looks like it belongs in some perfect utopian future





Denver already enjoys the presence of a beautiful international
airport. Adding a rail station to that is one tall order, then, as you
can't just attach any ol' block of a structure to it and call it a day.
Architect Santiago Calatrava, coming up with something that really fits.














Calatrava's airport terminal will plug into the city's growing public rail service,
which goes all the way into downtown Denver and also connects to
hotels, retail centers and the University of Denver. The two large
"wings" above the station are part of a hotel that will serve the
airport.


Check it out in all its glory in the gallery below, including a scale model of the station.

Seems too "plastic" for me. With everything white its going to take alot of cleaning to not look god awful.

A lot of cleaning-- heh, that is for sure.

I hope that commercialism near the end of the station won't drive me crazy and turn me into some brainwashed trend zombie.

God those arcing roof beams are ugly.

Totally an effective use of material, along with glass or whatever else they will invent!
